Some 507,000 new arrivals of Myanmar’s fleeing Rohingya population are reported as of September 30, including 453,300 new arrivals identified in IOM’s Needs and Population Monitoring assessments in four upazilas of Cox’s Bazar district, says a new report on Sunday.
The latest figure includes 35,000 in refugee camps reported by UNHCR and 18,700 reported by field staff in Naikhongchhari (Bandarban district).
Over the last two days, movement across the border in Cox’s Bazar has reportedly decreased again, according to the report “Situation Report: Rohingya Crisis”.
The Inter Sector Coordination Group (ISCG), convened by the IOM, in collaboration
with humanitarian partners prepared the report that covered September 21 – 27.
The next report will be issued on October 8, said the IOM on Sunday. Some 37% of refugees arrived by walking and 34% by boat.
People who have arrived since August 25 continue to move to the new Kutupalong Expansion site, where they are constructing new shelters.
The RRRC is leading on the Kutupalong Expansion project along with the Site Management Taskforce, which includes UNHCR, IOM and other key implementing agencies.
Some 20 ‘blocks’ have been identified by RRRC. Agencies continue to focus on delivering aid wherever people have settled.
